Question 12 • Probability and Statistics with Applications Honors Sem-2-FL-1210300 (2024-2025)

A fair, six-sided number cube has the numbers 2, 2, 4, 4, 6, 6 on its faces. Sarah rolls this number cube 10 times and records the number of times a 2 is rolled.Have the conditions for a binomial setting been met for this scenario?

Answer
A
Yes, all four conditions in BINS have been met.
B
No, the rolls of a number cube are not independent of one another.
C
No, this is not a fair number cube because each outcome shows on more than one face.
D
No, without any odd-numbered faces, we cannot determine the probability of rolling a 2.

Explanation

There are a fixed 10 rolls, and each roll is independent of the others. On each roll, success (rolling a 2) has probability 2/6 = 1/3; failure has probability 2/3, so there are two possible outcomes for the recorded event. The probability stays the same on every roll, so all four BINS conditions are met. Repeated numbers on the faces do not make the cube unfair.
